We recently unveiled a compelling new concept, Frontline AI, which aims to unleash the potential of the frontline workforce. So, what is Frontline AI?

Frontline AI turns voice into data, powering Voice AI Workflows that unlock operations automation at the edge or point of frontline work. Frontline employees trigger Voice AI Workflows in two ways, a voice command that starts a back-end, automated process, or a voice query that sends or retrieves information from systems of record back to the frontline user.

Frontline AI turns these actions or inputs into data, providing enterprises with a mature, digital, and AI-driven system of action that makes it simple to access or update corporate or operational systems of record. Ultimately, Frontline AI empowers task workers with data and information typically available only to knowledge workers — a game-changing step for productivity.

Every frontline enterprise can benefit from voice automation delivered at the edge of work. Yet, we know each operation is unique with unique processes. So read on to learn about how some of our Voice AI Workflows can benefit operations like yours.

Check out what Orion Chief Technology Officer Alex McNamara had to say about Orion’s game-changing Frontline AI.

Enhance Productivity and Safety with Orion’s Revolutionary Voice AI Workflows

To truly capitalize on Frontline AI at scale, enterprises must be innovative and foster a culture of curiosity about the seconds and minutes of untapped potential in frontline work: 

Here are a few questions enterprises should consider when approaching Frontline AI: 

• What routine, time-consuming tasks and SOPs can be automated? 
• What’s the next step in digitizing routine manual or paper-based processes? 
• What processes will improve when seamlessly connected to backend systems? 
• What information can be introduced to a task worker before it’s manually requested? 
• What are the processes that, when strung together, will unlock true transformation?

Let’s take a look at a few simple ways Orion helps frontline enterprises integrate Frontline AI into their operations.

Practical Applications: Frontline AI and Voice AI Workflows in Action

Orion customers span frontline industries like retail, hospitality, transportation, logistics, security, and more. We’ve been thrilled to partner with them on their journey as they implement voice automation and unlock the transformative productivity gains from Frontline AI.

Here is a quick peak into 3 of Orion’s transformative Voice AI Workflows and their real-world applications:

Speech-to-Speech Translation

A multilingual frontline workforce poses unique challenges to effective communications. As today’s frontline leaders know, hiring the best available staff often means hiring workers with different native languages or varying levels of English proficiency. Without a solution for workers to communicate in their proficient language, miscommunications negatively affect workforce productivity, safety compliance, and customer service.

Orion real-time Speech-to-Speech Translation is a powerful productivity automation solution that unlocks access to an expanded labor pool, instantly translating languages between team members. Each worker communicates and receives responses from team members in their preferred language, ensuring clear, safe, and productive work.

Shift Check-in Workflow

Frontline workers are often required to check in with dispatchers or supervisors at the start of their shift. When groups of workers start their shifts at the same time, bottlenecks and delays occur — especially if managers or dispatchers must manually respond. Frontline operations require a solution that automates routine processes like shift check-ins to unlock cost savings and boost productivity hindered by traditional tools.

Orion’s Shift Check-in Workflow automates manual check-in processes, whether checking in at the start of a shift or checking in before each task. Users speak a voice command like “Status Check”, and the Orion Voice AI Workflow responds and completes the check-in without any other human intervention. This process eliminates a manual response from managers or dispatchers, gets workers productive sooner, and enables focus on higher-value tasks. This workflow can also be configured to integrate voice-driven check-ins with Time & Attendance systems of record.

Orion customer Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) uses our Shift Check-in Workflow to eliminate all manual radio checks, saving MBTA up to 10 minutes for each driver at the start of each shift. Over a year, this adds up to nearly 45 hours saved for each weekday driver and 17 hours saved for each weekend driver. Manual radio checks alone saves MBTA an estimated $700,000 each year.

Voice Ticketing Workflow

Digital and mobile ticketing solutions revolutionized field and on-the-go operations by reducing the headaches, limited organizational visibility, and lost productivity inherent in paper-based processes. Still, these digital ticketing solutions require touchscreen data entry into tablets or mobile devices, which hinders heads-up productivity and attentive customer service.

Today’s frontline operations need to extend their ticketing system to be a voice system of action by using the power of voice. Orion’s Voice Ticketing Workflow extends the power of your frontline ticketing software system of record with voice query, automating data entry and updates with voice. Frontline teams gain the ability to populate back-end business systems of record with valuable real-time data from the frontline with Orion’s voice-driven system of action. Deskless workers achieve greater efficiencies in their day-to-day work and tasks, provide better customer experiences, and enjoy greater empowerment and job satisfaction.

How Orion’s Game-Changing Frontline AI Enhances Productivity 

The tight labor market across frontline industries, like hospitality, retail, logistics, transportation, and more, continues to be a challenge for employers who need to fill open positions. Notably, 1 in 5 people in the U.S. speaks a language other than English with over 8% of the U.S. population speaking English less than “very well”. So, what does that mean for frontline employers looking to hire new team members in a challenging labor market?

Increasingly, employers recognize that hiring the best available staff means hiring a multilingual workforce with various levels of English proficiency. However, this can have wide-ranging impacts that require strategic planning given language proficiency is key to orientation, training, productivity, and safety. 

Solutions that remove language barriers are more important than ever to today’s frontline enterprises. Yet, many of today’s translation solutions like Google Translate offer limited utility with translation outputs designed to be returned on a single device — and not for multi-device, real-time conversations. This isn’t good enough for enterprises that need intelligent solutions to help their growing multilingual staff enhance productivity and deliver exceptional customer service. 

Our solution? Orion Speech-to-Speech Translation. It’s a first-of-its-kind, voice-AI-powered approach that layers bi-directional translation into real-time communications, unlocking new possibilities for the deskless workforce.

Orion delivers Systems of Action to Frontline Edge Operations with Frontline AI

2023 is shaping up to be a game-changing year for the implementation of AI. 

Today’s global enterprises know AI offers the potential to unlock transformative productivity for knowledge workers. However, forward-thinking businesses know they must similarly deliver AI to their frontline workforce to fully realize AI-driven productivity across the enterprise, all while reinforcing safety protocols. 

Unlike desked or knowledge work, the nature of frontline work requires innovative methods to deliver AI to edge and task workers. Any solution must consider and support how frontline workers operate day-to-day and deliver productivity measurable in seconds to minutes per worker per shift.

Orion has pioneered frontline worker access to AI, enabling an easy and compelling new concept: Frontline AI.

Frontline AI will enable a generational leap in frontline workforce productivity, comparable to the frontline impact of Henry Ford’s assembly line or the introduction of the personal computer to knowledge-based work nearly 30 years ago.

So what exactly is Frontline AI? Let’s dive in.

What is Frontline AI?

Our Frontline AI Platform delivers automation through proprietary Voice AI Workflows. 

It’s intentional that we chose voice to power Frontline AI. Voice delivery supports the employee experience (EX) and the everyday reality of frontline workers performing their jobs and completing routine tasks — deskless, dispersed, and heads up. Voice is the necessary bridge between the functions performed by frontline workers and the transformative benefits of AI for operations automation and worker safety.

The frontline workforce tools must enable team members to stay heads up and focused. Frontline AI meets this requirement by utilizing voice-driven inputs and using natural language processing (NLP) to turn voice into data. This innovative process powers our Voice AI Workflows, unlocking operations automation at the edge or point of frontline work.

Frontline AI and Systems of Action

Voice AI Workflows offer new and creative solutions to old and nagging problems facing today’s frontline enterprises. Deskless dispersed workers need the ability to access and provide data and information in real time from the edge. 

Orion resolves this pain point with our Voice AI Workflows. Frontline employees trigger Voice AI Workflows in two ways, a voice command that starts a back-end, automated process, or a voice query that sends or retrieves information from systems of record back to the frontline user. 

Frontline AI turns these actions or inputs into data, ultimately providing enterprises with a mature, digital, and AI-driven system of action. 

Traditional IT systems, knowledge bases, and operational systems of record have been burdensome to access at the frontline. Orion’s Voice AI Workflows are a system of action for frontline workers, making it simple to access or update corporate or operational systems of record. Frontline AI empowers task workers with data and information typically available only to knowledge workers — another game-changing step for productivity.

Unlocking the Productivity Curve with Frontline AI

Prior to the recent radical advancements in AI, it’s undeniable that worker output had generally been stagnant year after year. As technological advancements race towards new AI-driven possibilities, global enterprises must rethink the nature of the tasks assigned to frontline workers and provide them the tools they need to compete with new, unlocked productivity. 

We’ve seen firsthand how introducing Frontline AI Voice Workflows and operations automation amplifies productivity over time — an effect no enterprise with a frontline workforce can afford to neglect.

Frontline AI offers four advantages to transform frontline work: 

1. The ability to automate routine processes.
2. The ability to remove the long-standing barriers that prevent the frontline workforce from accessing critical business knowledge and information.
3. The ability to get more work throughput with the same size workforce.
4. The ability to reinforce and enhance safety protocols.
